2010-10-06bonding: add retransmit membership reports tunableFlavio Leitner5-0/+72
Allow sysadmins to configure the number of multicast membership report sent on a link failure event. Signed-off-by: Flavio Leitner <fleitner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-10-06bonding: fix to rejoin multicast groups immediatelyFlavio Leitner1-8/+8
The IGMP specs states that if the system receives a membership report, it shouldn't send another for the next minute. However, if a link failure happens right after that, the backup slave and the switch connected to this slave will not know about the multicast and the traffic will hang for about a minute. This patch fixes it to rejoin multicast groups immediately after a failover restoring the multicast traffic. Signed-off-by: Flavio Leitner <fleitner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-10-06bonding: rejoin multicast groups on VLANsFlavio Leitner2-11/+50
During a failover, the IGMP membership is sent to update the switch restoring the traffic, but it misses groups added to VLAN devices running on top of bonding devices. This patch changes it to iterate over all VLAN devices on top of it sending IGMP memberships too. Signed-off-by: Flavio Leitner <fleitner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-10-06net neigh: RCU conversion of neigh hash tableEric Dumazet6-100/+170
David This is the first step for RCU conversion of neigh code. Next patches will convert hash_buckets[] and "struct neighbour" to RCU protected objects. Thanks [PATCH net-next] net neigh: RCU conversion of neigh hash table Instead of storing hash_buckets, hash_mask and hash_rnd in "struct neigh_table", a new structure is defined : struct neigh_hash_table { struct neighbour **hash_buckets; unsigned int hash_mask; __u32 hash_rnd; struct rcu_head rcu; }; And "struct neigh_table" has an RCU protected pointer to such a neigh_hash_table. This means the signature of (*hash)() function changed: We need to add a third parameter with the actual hash_rnd value, since this is not anymore a neigh_table field.

2010-10-06net: add a core netdev->rx_dropped counterEric Dumazet11-34/+26
In various situations, a device provides a packet to our stack and we drop it before it enters protocol stack : - softnet backlog full (accounted in /proc/net/softnet_stat) - bad vlan tag (not accounted) - unknown/unregistered protocol (not accounted) We can handle a per-device counter of such dropped frames at core level, and automatically adds it to the device provided stats (rx_dropped), so that standard tools can be used (ifconfig, ip link, cat /proc/net/dev) This is a generalization of commit 8990f468a (net: rx_dropped accounting), thus reverting it.

2010-10-04net: introduce DST_NOCACHE flagEric Dumazet3-5/+9
While doing stress tests with IP route cache disabled, and multi queue devices, I noticed a very high contention on one rwlock used in neighbour code. When many cpus are trying to send frames (possibly using a high performance multiqueue device) to the same neighbour, they fight for the neigh->lock rwlock in order to call neigh_hh_init(), and fight on hh->hh_refcnt (a pair of atomic_inc/atomic_dec_and_test()) But we dont need to call neigh_hh_init() for dst that are used only once. It costs four atomic operations at least, on two contended cache lines, plus the high contention on neigh->lock rwlock. Introduce a new dst flag, DST_NOCACHE, that is set when dst was not inserted in route cache. With the stress test bench, sending 160000000 frames on one neighbour, results are : Before patch: real 2m28.406s user 0m11.781s sys 36m17.964s After patch: real 1m26.532s user 0m12.185s sys 20m3.903s Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-10-04sctp: Fix out-of-bounds reading in sctp_asoc_get_hmac()Dan Rosenberg1-2/+6
The sctp_asoc_get_hmac() function iterates through a peer's hmac_ids array and attempts to ensure that only a supported hmac entry is returned. The current code fails to do this properly - if the last id in the array is out of range (greater than SCTP_AUTH_HMAC_ID_MAX), the id integer remains set after exiting the loop, and the address of an out-of-bounds entry will be returned and subsequently used in the parent function, causing potentially ugly memory corruption. This patch resets the id integer to 0 on encountering an invalid id so that NULL will be returned after finishing the loop if no valid ids are found.

This reverts commit e81963b180ac502fda0326edf059b1e29cdef1a2. LRO is now deprecated in favour of GRO, and only a few drivers use it, so it is desirable to build it as a module in distribution kernels. The original change to prevent building it as a module was made in an attempt to avoid the case where some dependents are set to y and some to m, and INET_LRO can be set to m rather than y. However, the Kconfig system will reliably set INET_LRO=y in this case. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
